Lovely picture - especially with the snow coming down over it!

Strange that the car was sold to 'Ed Jurist's Vintage Car Store' when it was probably only 6 or 7 years of age! But who knows.

Personally I want to go and see this (off the same site): http://justacarguy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/ ... ttend.html

I was pleased to see the TASCA badge on the back of the red 289 as I have the exact same badge on the back of mine. :)

Both of those Beasts have been regulars at the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power, which is a great event that`s possibly a little easier to get to!

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when they describe a car like that as 'American'?

I always used to refer to my SIII Interceptor as Italian - it was styled by Vignale....

Great fun car, out-cubed most people on our European runs with the 440!
